Abstract：
The incidence of coccidioidomycosis continues to increase. The diagnosis frequently relies on non-invasive diagnostic testing with immunodiffusion and complement fixation (CF) testing the current gold standard. A direct comparison of quantitative immunodiffusion and CF for IgG antibodies has not been previously reported. In a comparison of 368 samples, there was close concordance observed (360/368 = 97.8%) (P-value < .001). These tests can be considerably interchangeable in the reference laboratory setting.
There are several diagnostic methodologies available in coccidioidomycosis. Direct comparisons of these methods are limited. Prior studies have not compared quantitative immunodiffusion to complement fixation testing. Our results show these tests are highly concordant.

摘要：
球孢子菌病的发病率继续增加。诊断通常依赖于具有免疫扩散和补体固定（CF）测试当前金标准的非侵入性诊断测试。先前尚未报道定量免疫扩散和CF对IgG抗体的直接比较。在368个样本的比较中，观察到有密切的一致性(360/368=97.8%)(p值<.001)。这些测试在参考实验室环境中是相当可互换的。
球虫菌病有几种诊断方法。这些方法的直接比较是有限的。先前的研究尚未将定量免疫扩散与补体固定测试进行比较。我们的结果表明这些测试是高度一致的。
